for me a crumb can get pretty small, being an applique-er, so any little piece that is smaller than a strip, or usual size scrap (like smaller than 2 1/2" square") odd scraps triangles cut off corners ect. and there are lots of people out there who enjoy making minature blocks and quilts, so little pieces get used.

I've never worked with postage size, but a lady on the board did the most beautiful scrappy of one. So I figured instead of throwing away, lets try something new!!

Check out Bonnie Hunters system. Makes sense. I've been doing something similar to this - It works for me. Find out what collection you need to make to make a quilt. She also recommends - 1. find the pattern 2. figure out what size they want you to cut everything down to 3. start saving that size.
